(By
The tide of public approval of the
$118,000 school bond issue is steadily This city has been living
from hand to mouth in the matter
of school facilities for the past gen:
eration. Now with prosperous conditions throughout the county, with
Wiicle Sam standing-ready to give a
helping hand if we will help ourselves, the time is ripe for a little
long distance planning. The moment
is opportune to create and carry
through an adequate housing plan
for the city’s present 700 school

in this number from. year to “year.

great campaign for school
Tonight at 7:30 one of the most important parades ever held in Nevada
City will start from. Armory Hall.
It will be a long parade, and a sincere one: It will be the parade ot
the students from: the Washington
grammar school and the Nevada City
high schoos demonstrating to the local citizens that the passing of the
bond issue means something to them
that it represents a real cause, an
appeal that must not: go unheeded.
in grammar
school—all. will be there. Citizens
have written about the bonds, teachers have spoken about it, and adults
have made their contribution; and
tonight, those who are most familiar
with the crowded and dangerous
conditions present in both schools
will do their part.
Headed by the Purple and Gold
high school band, the line of march
will start at Armory Hall, follow
down Broad street to the Plaza, back
up Commercial and over Pine to the
junction of Pine and Broad where a
stop will be made. The two schoor
busses from San Juan and Willow
. for Buildings
Valley will be present with approplacards on them, the students from both places remaining in
town to take part in the affair. The
students from the Washington school
house will march in classes and be
ready with yells and stunts to add
live interest to a very live issue.
Miss Ford and Mr. McGinnis of the
grammar school have planned to organize surprising and _ interesting
entries for the parade, particulars
of which will not be revealed until
the actual demonstration § takes
place tonight.
Principals Carlson . and Kjorlie
have worked diligently with the faculties of both schools in preparation
for tonight’s event, and the cooperation of the students has shown their
active interest in the issue.
Every citizen must consider himself invited to witness this parade.
It makes little difference which side
of the issue one is upon, the enthusiasm of two student groups appealing for a new deal in educational
facilities will’ be of interest to all.
The time is seven-thirty this evening; the place is, Broad and Commercial streets from Pine down; the
success will depend upon the interest
of the people in the school children
of Nevada City.
